Re: SilverPlatter default change suggestion

[Andy Shimp <andy.shimp@yale.edu>]

I did look to see how changing the display to long labels affects save
options.  Even after I changed the display format to long labels, the save
format default was short labels.  Kim--you may want to check with
SilverPlatter to confirm that we can have a display default of long labels
and a save default of short labels.
